I didn't know this. The strict interpretation of the above is that the 
first address is the real one and the other part is a comment. Although 
often the comment is actually the name of the sender.

It's not clear to me that MailMate misbehaves though. This is also 
supported by the comment in the headers you provided:

	Comments: Did not say From: user at company.com at sender's request

This appears to mean that the sender did this intentionally.

I guess it would be best if both addresses were easily accessible...
